Will you be my prom date?

Alexandra Pappas'14

The talk in the halls has already begun Bedford students, how is one going to be asked to prom? The talk may seem early, but prom is only 2 months away and tickets go on sale the first week of April. The “Prom Ask” is is one of the most anticipated aspects of prom, as everyone needs to figure out if they are going to have a date or if they are going to fly solo.In years past, Bedford students have gone above and beyond to make sure their prom date says yes. Prom Asks have ranged from just writing “Prom?” out on a girls car to having a cop pull over the girl you want to take to prom so you can ask her. The possibilities of way you can ask a girl to prom are endless, and it is hard to be rejected when you put a lot of thought the way you ask your date to prom. Just remember that while every girl wants her Prom Ask to be sweet, not everyone wants it over the top. Many say that a teddy bear or a cup of coffee with a note saying “Prom?” would do just fine. While other girls hope to find their potential prom date waiting upside-down in a tree outside of their house. So if you are planning to ask someone to prom make sure you know what your possible prom date wants, has so that she has no doubts and says yes on the spot!Personally I feel like the extreme sweet ways are the best way to go. If you know she likes adventure, do a scavenger hunt and wait at the last spot with a poster asking her to prom. If she is active, do something that involves sports. If she is a food lover, buy a pizza – who doesn’t like pizza- and write “Prom?” out on the box. But what about girls asking guys to prom? Times have changed and some girls do have the courage to ask a guy to prom. It is a popular trend and there is nothing wrong with asking him ladies! So ladies if you have the courage to ask that guy you like then go for it! Chances are he'll be happy you asked and know the courage it takes and say yes!Either way Bedford, the rumble and rumors have started. Senior Claire Doyle admits this to us. "I would want to be asked in a really cute way but there are so many endless possibilities as to how one can go about being asked." That is the unpleasant yet best thing for people. You have so many options but it is truly hard to narrow it down. I asked Claire if she could narrow it down herself and she said, "I need time to think about it really. There are a lot of factors that I could think of and I cannot simply pick one!" So start to think about who you want to ask to prom, and how you will preform your ask, because the Prom Ask season has begun!
